The Perfect Day for Getting Married...or is It?So you're getting married and deciding when to have your wedding. The "traditional" month of June is frequently a popular choice for a wedding but there may be other dates you may want to consider when choosing a wedding date. Although it may seem easy to just "pick a date" for getting married, you may want to take into consideration some special times and events that occur during the year before committing to a specific date. Holidays Religious and Cultural Holidays Other Notable Holidays and Events Father's Day - The same thing could be said about this day for fathers as mentioned above for mothers. Super Bowl - This event has become an obsession with many football fans. If you are getting married on the Saturday before the Sunday of Super Bowl, then it shouldn't affect your guest list much (unless you live in Florida where the Super Bowl is held). But your diehard football fan guests may not be very happy about attending a wedding on Super Bowl Sunday. Avoid getting married on Super Bowl Sunday if you don't want to deal with this issue. Final Four/March Madness - Similar to the problems with getting married on Super Bowl Sunday, getting married during these prime basketball events will cause issues with your guests who are avid sports fans. These are just some of the factors to consider when choosing a wedding date. There are other cultural beliefs you may want to consider when getting married (such as the Chinese believe that the number "8" is especially lucky so choosing a date of 8/8 may be lucky for a wedding). Whatever date you choose, make sure it is significant for you and your mate as this will be a date you will remember forever! |
